I`m Glad I`m On The Inside (looking Out) Lyrics

In the days of Noah just before the flood

When the wicked had all forgotten God

Brother Noah, built a boat which above God's wrath did float 

And the people saw that they were made of mud

As the doors stood open with the gang planked out

Noah and his family entered with a shout

When the scufflers stretched their necks

Noah stepped out on the deck and said

I'm so glad I'm on the inside looking out



Oh I'd rather be on the inside looking out 

Than to be upon the outside looking in 

When the rain began to fall sinners on the Lord did call 

But the door was shut and night was settin' in

Then old Noah from the window looking out

Gazed to heaven beyond the water spout

And he said I thank the Lord that I took him at his word

I'm so glad I'm on the inside looking out

[ fiddle - guitar ]

Good old Daniel lived in Babylon long ago

And he had the grace to tell the devil no

Though he prayed three times a day in the good old fashioned way

They said he to the lions den must go

And lions made him welcomed to their home

For they knew he was nothing but backbone 

When the king looked in and said are you alive or are you dead

But I'd rather be on the inside...
